Stephen Ministry

AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF KENNETT SQUARE

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

WHAT DO STEPHEN MINISTERS DO?

A Stephen minister provides one to one lay Christian care to individuals facing a variety of crisis or life challenges. With a Stephen Minister, people need not go through crises and difficulties alone. A Stephen minister is a well trained and supervised, caring Christian friend who will walk along side them for as long as necessary, providing the emotional and spiritual care they need. Typically a Stephen Minister has one care receiver at a time and meets with that person once a week. Stephen Ministers provide high quality care for both people within the congregation and also reach out with Christ's love to hurting people who have no church home.
